NIGP 22004: Actuators and Controls (for Robotics, Servo Systems, etc.)

NIGP 22004 Actuators and Controls (For Robotics, Servo Systems, Etc.), an Item code, encompasses hydraulic and electric actuators, positioners, and control systems that state and local governments procure for wastewater treatment plants, water utilities, and facility infrastructure. Recent solicitations show municipalities and counties buying proprietary actuator systems for valve automation, control box assemblies, and replacement components; motorized positioners for field instrumentation; and supplemental parts and accessories for multi-year equipment contracts. Wastewater treatment and water reclamation facilities dominate the buying pattern, with procurement officers seeking equipment that integrates with existing infrastructure and meets compliance standards for automated process control. The issuing bodies are primarily city and county water and wastewater utilities, with occasional participation from state facility management and special authorities. Florida municipalities and Seminole County appear as repeat buyers, alongside major urban water departments in Texas, Arizona, and Georgia.

State and local procurement under this code spans Florida, Texas, Arizona, and Georgia based on recent activity.
